Do they get free skins or something by advertising those russian websites in their nickname?

At first I always ignored it but it seems like there is constantly some people online with all those russian counter strike trade links and it's getting a bit annoying. Also I think alot of those sites are sketchy so i'm thinking of maybe not allowing it anymore. Some servers already dont allow this as I can see so i'm wondering what their reasoning behind this might be.

I ban ip and player if they use advertising in their names, They cant complain as its in the "rules" page they have to agree to before they join the server.

I have sorted that with my plugin that just OnConnected detects if player's name contains any domain (.com, .ru, .money) and replace these characters with ".spam". Of course you must create a list of these domains

I'm happy with this solution :)

Which plugin that is?

I have created my own. I can provide some code samples later when I'm home.

Why dont you submit the plugin to this site for approval ? it would help a lot of server owners.

Actually I can do if it's required. I just added the code to my custom AdminPlugin that manages many other features. So yes, I will.

Anyway I found the code if anybody wants to imlement before plugin hits uMod:

Merged post

 private void OnUserConnected(IPlayer player) { RenameSpamPlayers(player); } private void RenameSpamPlayers(IPlayer player) { List spamKeywords = new List() { ".money", ".com", ".pl", ".gg", ".ru", ".net" }; string newName = player.Name; foreach (string spamKeyword in spamKeywords) { if (player.Name.ToLower().Contains(spamKeyword.ToLower())) { newName = newName.ToLower().Replace(spamKeyword.ToLower(), "crap"); } } }​ if (player.Name.ToLower() != newName.ToLower()) { player.Rename(newName); }

Honestly i dont care what they have in their names or what other servers they came from or play on.
Makes no diff to me at all.

Well first of this is Rust, not counter Stikr
Second they are using your server to advertise
Third is those .ru sites are usually phishing/virusses

so I think it's logical that alot of servers dont allow it

Done. This plugin is awaiting approval!
